How do I save player's data?

Hello, so basically i'am trying to make this script save my player's stats when they logoff and load then when they login. The script is just not working, no idea why, was reading the article "Saving Player Data" in roblox wiki but my current knowledge of lua isn't good enough to let me adjust that script there to the one i have... No idea what the problem is but here is the script:

001CashStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("DataStore")
002local loadedstats = false
003function PlayerEntered(player)
004    repeat wait() until player.Character
005        repeat wait() until player.Character.Stats
006            local stats = player.Character:WaitForChild("Stats")
007        local goldnew = Instance.new("IntValue")
008        goldnew.Parent = player.Character.Stats
009        goldnew.Value = "0"
010        goldnew.Name = "Gold"
011        local levelnew = Instance.new("IntValue")
012        levelnew.Name = "Level"
013        levelnew.Parent = player.Character.Stats
014        levelnew.Value = "1"
015        local xpnew = Instance.new("IntValue")
016        xpnew.Name = "Xp"
017        xpnew.Parent = player.Character.Stats
018        xpnew.Value = "0"
019        local constnew = Instance.new("IntValue")
020        constnew.Name = "Constitution"
021        constnew.Parent = player.Character.Stats
022        constnew.Value = ""
023        local xptlvnew = Instance.new("IntValue")
024        xptlvnew.Name = "Xptlv"
025        xptlvnew.Parent = player.Character.Stats
026        xptlvnew.Value = "70"
027        local skillpnew = Instance.new("IntValue")
028        skillpnew.Name = "SkillPoints"
029        skillpnew.Parent = player.Character.Stats
030        skillpnew.Value = "0"
031        local hp = player.Character.Humanoid:WaitForChild("Health")
032        local maxhp = player.Character.Humanoid:WaitForChild("MaxHealth")

Feel free to ask anything if there is something unclear and thank you in advance.

What type of script is it? What does the output say? fahmisack123 385 — 9y

Sorry i havent answered. Was busy. A normal script. It doesnt say anything, no errors. User#11680 0 — 9y

Ok so tried it on local script and it says "Attempt to connect failed: Passed value is not a function (Line 98)". (Still not changed the way LightModed offered to) User#11680 0 — 9y

Just realised there are more problems happening, ill try to fix those and if i'll fail or succeed ill let you know User#11680 0 — 9y

Ok so i modified the script. Now I realised that the PlayerEntered function's part after adding the new IntValues doesnt work.(Made it so the loading screen ends after loading data and the loading screen never ends.) Any ideas? The output doesnt show any errors User#11680 0 — 9y

How do I save player's data?
